    Summary

    Slowly, carefully, the gentleman pulls out a gold pocket watch and lays it down on the work-table. All his urgency seems to drain away as he looks forlornly down at the old, slightly battered thing.

    “It’s broken,” he says quietly.

    He sounds like that too. Broken.

    Summary

    Zagreus always made stepping from the Styx look painless and elegant, what with the way he shook its blood-red waters from his hair as he strolled through an unending rain of snow-white flower petals.
    Hypnos figured that practice must have made perfect as he clumsily clawed his way from its depths, weighed down by both his own Styx soaked cloak and a general inability to get his trembling legs to hold his weight.

    OR

    In the Iilad, Hera has Hypnos put Zeus to sleep so she can go cause havoc. In the original myth, Hypnos escaped Zeus's wrath by fleeing to his mother, Nyx, for saftey. Zeus immediately backed down, unwilling to fight against the night.

    In Hades, Hypnos wouldn't have that option.
